Hello,
I am running windows 98 and I cannot start my computer normally or in safe mode. When I finally do get to safe mode and it looks like it is going to load it gives me that blue screen error. Please help, I know that it just has to be something on my computer or a registry problem that I could probably fix if I could get it into safe mode. I know this is stupid but my brother in law built my pc and I don't even have a windows 98 disc. Please help me out if you think you can. Thank you!

Looks like memory error to me.

Check your RAM modules, remove and re-seat them on motherboard firmly.

Thank you so much for the help. I had my husband open up the pc and make sure that everything was firmly placed and he did it and that did the trick. Thanks again so very much. I love this place!!
